Coffee Roaster & Coffee House in Artsy Sierra Foothills Town

New asking price $179k! Here is a great opportunity to trade in the traffic, expense, and frantic pace of the “Big City” for a new life in a sophisticated historic Gold Rush town in the Sierra foothills (not far from the Bay Area and Central Valley). A solid foundation has been laid for the next owner to simply continue the currently thriving business model or choose among many pathways for future growth. This Coffee Roasting Business has multiple revenue centers – a prime retail location with onsite roastery, a growing online sales business, and multiple local wholesale accounts with potential for many more. A recently updated and very robust website includes a portal for online purchasing and delivery, which expands the reach of the business and elevates it to a new level of sophistication without losing the artisanal charm. Demand exists for additional satellite retail shops within the surrounding region, so this is another avenue for consideration. The business fills a niche for premium coffee and holds multiple industry specific certifications, appealing to a clientele beyond the local area. In addition to coffee, the retail site offers coffee-themed accessory and gift items, teas, smoothies, and a small selection of outsourced pastries. This eliminates the need for food preparation which many will appreciate, but a limited food menu could be added with minimal investment at the preference of the next owner. The business fared well throughout the Covid restrictions (with limited hours), by focusing on the “to go” and online business, and with strong support from the loyal staff and customers. The clientele base includes regulars from the surrounding affluent community, as well as second homeowners, and a steady stream of tourists. This business is located in a charming artistic foothills town that has become a year-round destination for wine lovers and visitors from Northern California and beyond. The area has increasingly become a popular place for people looking to relocate from areas with high density, and high cost of living and doing business, especially now that working remotely is an option for some people. This foothills town offers a relaxed pace of life with small-town connectedness, but with abundant opportunities for dining, wine tasting, entertainment, arts and culture, outdoor recreation, and affordable housing to boot! This Coffee Business is well established in the community with years of goodwill and a reputation for top quality. The owner is deservedly proud of what has been accomplished over the past several years but is now ready to retire and transfer the business to a capable new owner who can capitalize on remaining opportunities. The next owner should have an understanding and appreciation for coffee, and preferably experience with roasting. The business occupies 1,670 +/- sf which includes seating for about 30 inside + about 20 on the landscaped patios. This is a confidential listing. Registration with NDA is required in order to receive further details. We look forward to talking with you about this exciting opportunity!
